A Message from our Principal, Chelsea Erdmann

INSPIRE Learning, Passion, and Character…

I’m proud to serve as principal of this vibrant and inclusive school community. M.E. LaZerte has a strong legacy of academic excellence, cultural diversity, and student leadership, and I’m excited to build on this foundation as we move forward together.

At LaZerte, we believe every student has the potential to achieve great things. Our goal is to support each learner academically, socially, and emotionally through meaningful, challenging, and relevant learning experiences. Whether students participate in Advanced Placement, English Language Learning, Career and Technology Studies, or other programs, we are committed to helping each one succeed.

We strive to make M.E. LaZerte a safe, welcoming, and inclusive place where every student feels a strong sense of belonging. Relationships are at the heart of our work, and we know that strong connections between students, staff, and families are essential to success.

Families will continue to receive important updates through SchoolZone, and I encourage open communication and collaboration throughout the year. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, feedback, or ideas.

I’m excited to begin this journey with the M.E. LaZerte community and to work alongside our students, staff, and families as we focus on what makes excellence possible: strong relationships, continuous growth, and high expectations.

Sincerely,

Chelsea Erdmann
